I'm just some random person on HN so please take this with giant heap of salt, but you've described problems in 2 of the 3 major organs in your arterial system (the third is your kidneys). FWIW, I'd encourage a Hematologist to look there.

Unlike the Olympics where the sports are often obscure, boring or both, the world cup is comprised solely of an exciting game, much which of the world is familiar with from childhood experience. It's a sport that doesn't favor physical giants over skill and depends upon team cohesion over individual talent. As a result, we often see smaller countries with something to prove knock out bigger, established countries. Unless it's your team that loses, EVERYBODY loves an underdog.

Do they? Or does Elon have to explain in front of a judge that employees about to go on protected leave/ older workers/ less fanboy were not unfairly targeted?

My money is on settlement to prevent any judge from seeing how the firing decisions were made.

Firing a pregnant lady in CA simply as a cost cutting measure usually results in a nice settlement for the pregnant lady. FAFO, Elon.

It's a good thing the natural laws of Newtonian physics also covers content moderation. /s

I'm pretty sure that one of the levels of Dante's hell is working a ship's galley in rough seas. Trying to keep your nausea under control despite the lack of fresh air and not get burned by all of the hot, sloshing liquids is only for those who have very sturdy sea legs and a high tolerance for burns.

Because Moscow doesn't have to beat the US on the battlefield of Ukraine if they can ignite a US civil war and force a military withdrawal assymetrically.

Who said anything about race? If you can afford Choate, you can afford $250k/year at Harvard. But the kid from Biloxi, MS gets a "scholarship" so she only pays $25k/yr.

If race is barred then the next method could be increased emphasis on perfect price discrimination to distinguish applicants socioeconomically. Outrageous tuition prices coupled with generous "scholarships" can also create a diverse student body.
